About the book

Stargazing for Beginners: by DK is a non-fiction book for adult readers.

A complete introduction to observing and understanding the night sky, this book takes you from the very basics of stargazing through to the skills you need to become an accomplished amateur astronomer. Discover the wonders of the Universe with this complete introduction to observing and understanding the night sky. This practical guide explains and demystifies stargazing, teaching you to recognise different kinds of objects and showing you how they move through the sky over the course of the night and the year.

It shows you how to understand and enjoy the cosmos, building your practical astronomy skills from the basics to more advanced techniques. Beginning with an explanation of the Universe itself - how big is it, what shape is it, how old is it, and will it end? - it then takes you on a tour around the night sky, building up your knowledge in simple stages.
